IL-1 receptor antagonist plus pentoxifylline and zinc for severe alcohol-associated hepatitis

In a multicenter randomized clinical trial we targeted the key elements of alcoholic hepatitis including inflammation, cellular injury and gut leakiness and compared combination therapy to corticosteroids on 180-day survival. Subjects with a clinical diagnosis of severe alcohol-associated hepatitis AH (MELD>20, MDF>32) were randomized to receive methylprednisolone (PRED) or a combination of the IL-1 receptor antagonist, anakinra plus zinc plus pentoxifylline. Survival at 28 days was similar between the COMB (83.4%) and PRED groups (81.2%) (HR=0.91, p=0.85). Survival curves separated by 90 days (COMB: 69.8%; PRED: 58.0%; HR=0.69, p=0.28). Survival at 28 days was similar between the COMB (83.4%) and PRED groups (81.2%) (HR=0.91, p=0.85). There were no unexpected serious adverse events. These results suggest that a combination of anakinra, pentoxifylline plus zinc provides similar survival benefits compared to corticosteroid therapy in severe AH.
